About Me

Hi my name is Sandra,
I created this blog to keep everyone informed on whats going on in my buisness as well as at home. I am happily married to a wonderful man for 16 years. He supports me in everything I do and I realize I couldnt do half as much without him. We have 2 sons, one who is 25 years old and the other who is 7, they are the loves of our life. Also we have 2 spoiled dogs Pugsie and baby girl who we adore. I have a store in New Jersey that is full of romantic shabby chic decor. and I have a web site that features the one of a kind vintage jeweled photo frames that I design. I love to do anything artsie and though I dont consider myself a Picasso calibar artist I do consider myself an artist, for the most part self taught. I work with different mediums including paint, flowers, fabric and jewels. I love to create things design and decorate.
My store website is

We miss you!!I just want to say thank you so much for all your care and concern.Im ok but not ok if that makes any sense at all....

I will attempt to explain in this postwhats going on with me...some of if sad news but of course wewont dwell on that and I will try to make you smile too.

First something to make you smile!!

Yes this is Pugsie taking a nap!!!!I didnt have my camera but did have my cell phone.He is the most unique and funny dog I have ever had!He gets himself in the most unbelievable posistions.

Look at his tounge....always sticking outmakes him even more the clown!!

Their is nothing like a pug!

and if anyone out their is considering

getting a dog I highly recommend

the Pug breed.

that are sweet, loving, gentle and

will always make you smile!

So Now on to more serious subjects andthe happenings of my past year.As you all know my father passed away last year.....

When I came home from California I felt almost dead inside...

Its hard to explain but I felt numb andjust didnt feel like doing or seeing anyone.

I forced myself to do what I had to for myfamily responsibilities but Iseem to want to do much more.

Then my Lymes Disease was still quiteactive so I also had those issues to deal with.

I saw several new doctors and thegood news is that one found a treatmentthat seems to have brought me to amuch more functional place.

But then as life goes....Bad news hit again.

You remember my big brother Ed??He was in the Urkle post a while back,the one who teases me merciless and the oneI return the affection too. :P

Well he was diagnoised with Lukemia.It is a very rare form.........The doctors can find very few cases or research on it.

They dont no how he will respond to treatment or if he will.I flew out to California a few months agoto see him while he was in the hospital.......

This is a picture below of me my mom and brotherthe day I left to come home.

He was in the hospital the entire timeI was their but was released thebefore I left.

This picture below was in the hospital....as usuall we were teasing and laughing at each other.

Its going to be a tuff battle ahead and Ibe making another trip out to be withhim and my mother for support.So as a result I wont be doing anyof my handmade vintage creationsfor a while on my web site.

I cant seem to have the mental energy to focus right now.The web site is still open with items that are in stock,but I just wanted to let you knowwhy you wont be seeing any of my customwork for little while since manyof you email asking me when????? :)

I truly appreciate your patience,I want to thank you all for your support, care and concern.I hope to get creating again soon in the very near future.

Now to change the subject andlighten things up a bit Iwanted to share some photos of my kitchen.....It possibly is the the slowestredo I have ever done....Im still not finished with it,but here are a few shots of the finishedbuffet and hanging shelf above it.

And last but not least a closing pictureof Pugsie when he was a baby!!I came across these pictures that I had forgotten about!

He got ahold of my sons pacifier and ran with it....

This is the picture I was able to catch...its priceless and so captures his personality!!He makes me smile everyday....Its incredible the joy animals can bring to your life.

I never thought I would be oneof those "dog people" but I am!!and im lovin it!!

So I will close for nowthanking you again for yourcare and concern.The human heart reaches out far.thank you so muchhugs,Sandy

Sandy,I just read of the heartache you have been facing as of late and I am so very sorry. I DO understand the feelings or even lack of feelings you can have after such loss and then the battle your dear brother is going through. I will send you an e-mail about that. Do your very best to take it one day at a time and fill each day with as much joy as you can find.
